I made a test call just now, to the Howard Johnson Inn San Diego Sea World. I said I wanted to stay for one night on Saturday March 14, 2015 using the Orange Wednesday discount.

The guy I spoke with at the front desk had to put me on hold for about a minute as he was helping another guest.

I’d already pulled up the best available rate on HoJo’s website for that date, which was $179.

When the guy came back on the line, he said he could offer a 50% discount so the price would be $89 including parking and breakfast. I asked if anyone else had called today to make a reservation with this promotion and he said not yet. He offered to take my Wyndham Rewards number and make the reservation. Since it was just a test, I didn’t book but thanked him and hung up.

This sounds like a great deal if you can get in on it, so if you find a property you want to stay at get dialing!

The first five callers to contact each of the 40 US and Canadian properties participating in the Orange Wednesday promotion will receive 50% off the participating property’s rate of the day for up to three nights. Participating properties can be found at www.hojo.com/orangewednesday. In order to receive the discount, guest must call and book directly with a participating property by mentioning the Orange Wednesday promotion only on December 3rd (12:01 am – 11:59 pm EST) and complete their stay by March 3, 2015. Blackout dates apply. Discount has no cash value and cannot be combined with any other discount, offer, coupon or promotion. Discount will be taken off of individual property’s rate(s) for date(s) booked. Only the first five callers to contact a participating property, mention this promotion and book directly with the property within the promotion period, will receive the 50% discount. One reservation and one room per person.
